Love mine. I ended up sucking up and paying the full grand most places want for the thing. It's everything I wanted it to be: a good four string jazz bass that offers a hip yet traditional look and a modern sound with the ability to take a step back to a more familiar bass sound in certain situations. It certainly cuts through. Marcus uses his in a more 'up front' type of playing - I like it for it's ability to do the opposite, to be completely honest. Switch it into active mode when I want that upfront boost in tone. A bass I'll never let go of - alongside of my Schecter Stiletto Elite 5 string which I string tenor (EADGC). These two basses offer me the variety in sound and feel that just can't be replaced. Maybe at some point I'll throw in a real Sadowsky Preamp into the Fender and a Bartolini setup into the Schecter, but I'm happier than I've ever been with my electric sound.

 

Get the Marcus - but I do recommend finding a used one. They're usually setup better than the out of the box ones and are easier on the wallet.

Talkbass classifieds usually have one every once and awhile...Theres one with Sadowsky pups and preamp in it for 1050$ right now.
